When you sign up for Intuit Accountant Suite, you get access to practice management tools, real-time access to your clients’ books, and free subscriptions to QuickBooks Online Advanced and QuickBooks Payroll—our most robust solutions to help run your practice. 

You also unlock other benefits like training modules, exclusive discounts for your clients, premium support, and networking opportunities with local accountants and bookkeepers.

There are no hidden fees. Intuit Accountant Suite is free for accountants and bookkeepers. You only pay if you decide to pay for your clients’ QuickBooks Online subscriptions and bill them directly. Or if you decide to purchase separate products like QuickBooks Pro Tax, or add QuickBooks Payroll.

Your clients can either pay for their own QuickBooks subscriptions directly, and receive up to a 50% discount for their first year. Or, your practice can pay and add the cost to your billing, and receive an ongoing 50% discount.*

Pro Tax is a tool that enables the preparation and filing of unlimited tax returns, with full form sets (T1s, T2s, and T3s), a built-in auditor, and digital signatures. Intuit Accountant Suite combines Pro Tax with QuickBooks Online, making it simple to go from books to tax all in the same place.

QuickBooks Ledger is a QuickBooks Online plan designed exclusively for accounting professionals. Use Ledger to manage your year-end, tax-only, and low-transaction clients.

This platform has so many advantages and benefits, but the largest initial benefit is the ability to see and action on all your clients’ QuickBooks data in one place. The use of Intuit AI enables meaningful efficiency gains and the ability to detect and ask questions to diagnose anomalies found in the data faster than before.

The free beta program for Accelerate and Books Close officially ends January 19, 2027.

Billing is not automatic, and you must take action to continue using these features:

• To stay on your current plan: Provide your consent to remain on the Accelerate plan and/or Books Close add-on. Your first charge will appear on your firm’s next regular billing date on January 20, 2027.
• If you take no action: You will not be charged. However, after January 19, your firm will be moved to the Core plan and the Books Close add-on will be removed from your suite.

QuickBooks Online Accountant will be officially discontinued on December 31, 2026, as we transition all firms to the modern Intuit Accountant Suite platform. Similar to QuickBooks Online Accountant, the Core version of Intuit Accountant Suite has no monthly recurring fee and remains free for your firm to use.

Yes, you will have the option to go back to QuickBooks Online Accountant at this time. Note, if you have transferred clients to a target account, those will continue to be centralized in a target QuickBooks Online Accountant account. We strongly encourage you to return to the Intuit Accountant Suite when your team is ready so you can benefit from the newest innovations.

No. All current features and capabilities within QuickBooks Online Accountant are included in the Intuit Accountant Suite plus more. We also will provide tools to help your team navigate some changes in terms of where you will be able to access certain capabilities that are now in new locations.

First, your primary or company admin will switch your target QuickBooks Online Accountant to Intuit Accountant suite. Next, your primary and company admin can transfer clients to a target account using our updated client transfer tool in Intuit Accountant Suite. Simply navigate to the settings gear and select transfer clients. We will provide resources to guide your firm through the required preparation and then provide a tool to move clients from your other QuickBooks Accounts to your target account.

Both primary and company admins can sign up for a new Intuit Accountant Suite account on this website or through the billing and subscription page.

Your team will continue to have the same role based access and controls to your firm and clients as they previously did in QuickBooks Online Accountant. User Groups enable bulk assignment capabilities and updated role-based permission options to help your firm scale with confidence.

Intuit Intelligence chat is available in Beta to primary and company admins. In Intuit Accountant Suite Core, you can ask up to 200 prompts/month about your firm or client’s books- all without switching into the client’s books. With Intuit Accountant Suite Accelerate, you can ask up to 1,000 prompts/ month. Coming soon, Accelerate will also allow for cross-client portfolio questions to compare insights across your entire practice. When working directly within a client’s books, questions count toward their monthly total (Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, and Advanced- each have 25 prompts/ month), with the option to purchase additional queries if their limit is reached.
